Prof. Yaniv Roznai: Judiciary needs reform, but this override clause is dangerous
1st episode of ToI’s new podcast miniseries ‘Israel’s Judiciary: Reform or Ruin?’ takes a nuanced journey into looming legislation that could alter the country’s checks & balances
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIs Israeli democracy in danger? A proposed High Court override clause has many concerned about a possible tyranny of the majority. Join us as a diverse set of legal experts discuss with ToI editors what’s currently at stake.
In this first episode, we speak with Prof. Yaniv Roznai, vice dean at the Harry Radzyner Law School and co-director at the Rubinstein Center for Constitutional Challenges at Reichman University. His scholarship focuses on comparative constitutional law and constitutional theory.
Roznai is among the legal scholars who are leading the charge against the potential game-changing legislation. He explains why he strongly objects to the proposed override clause in a brief conversation ahead of a live-streamed Times of Israel event on judicial reform that took place in Jerusalem’s Israel Democracy Institute on December 15.
Future episodes will include remarks from other speakers, who firmly disagree with Roznai.
